Elite titan 1200: the ultimate 12ft wide wind resistant greenhouse
💡 The Elite Titan 1200 is the largest greenhouse in the TITAN range at 12ft wide. This is the choice for serious growers who’ve exhausted smaller options and need genuine commercial-scale capacity with residential-grade wind resistance.
Why We Chose This Range
“We stock the Elite Titan 1200 because 12ft wide greenhouses are notoriously difficult to stabilize in high winds. Standard 38mm frames often 'twist' at this width, but Elite’s Core-Vect 56mm bars provide three times the rigidity. We chose this range for serious commercial growers and estate gardeners who need the volume for four-row staging plus a central aisle, without the risk of structural failure during a British winter gale. It is quite the strongest 12ft greenhouse on the UK market.”
, Matt, Founder of Greenhouse StoresMaximum width, maximum capacity
At 12ft wide, you’re working with 72-240 square feet of growing area depending on length. That’s enough space for four rows of staging, central pathways wide enough for wheelbarrows, and dedicated zones for propagation, growing, potting, and storage, all without compromise.
Technical comparison: titan 1200 vs. standard models
| Feature | Elite Titan 1200 | Standard 12ft Greenhouse |
|---|---|---|
| Frame Material | 56mm Core-Vect Aluminium | 38mm Standard Aluminium |
| Wind Resistance | 100mph+ Gust Tested | ~45mph (Non-Tested) |
| Glazing System | Professional Bar-Capping | Basic Wire Clips |
| Bracing | Cantilever (Every Bar) | Corner Bracing Only |
Professional growers choose 12ft width because it accommodates standard nursery bench configurations (90cm wide) on both sides with a generous central aisle. You can position a full-size potting bench in the centre and still move around freely. Multiple people can work different zones simultaneously without coordination.
✅ We offer lengths up to 20ft as standard, but if you need larger, we’ll build it. Custom configurations beyond 20ft length are available, just call 0800 098 8877 to discuss your requirements.
Built for the harsher conditions
The Titan 1200 uses 56mm thick Core-Vect aluminium framework with cantilever bracing on every bar. At 12ft width, wind loads increase substantially compared to 6ft or 8ft models. The additional aluminium content (40% more than standard greenhouses) becomes essential rather than optional. Includes 20 Year Elite Warranty!
Tested to withstand sustained winds up to 90mph and gusts beyond 100mph. Highland estates, exposed moorland, and coastal properties regularly experience these conditions. Standard 38mm framed greenhouses at 12ft width cannot survive such forces, structural failure typically occurs at wind speeds above 60mph.
Matt's installation tip: the 12ft foundation rule
The Titan 1200 is a heavyweight structure that generates immense pressure at the eaves. At this width, you cannot rely on a standard soil perimeter. I strongly recommend a full 100mm concrete raft or a reinforced brick plinth. If your base is out of level by even 5mm across the 12ft width, the 1.2m double doors will bind, and the bar-capping will not create a watertight seal.
Importantly, ensure you use expansion bolts directly into your solid base rather than just ground anchors. At this scale, the greenhouse behaves like a sail in 70mph winds; that mechanical fixing to the foundation is what keeps your 20-year warranty valid. Read our full base guide here.
Commercial features as standard
✅ Every Titan 1200 includes a 1.2m wide double door with low-threshold access, 10-blade automatic louvre vent (opens at 15°C), bar capping on all framework, canopy seals at every glazing joint, and toughened safety glass in lower panels.
At 12ft width, proper ventilation becomes critical. The standard single louvre vent provides baseline temperature control, but most customers add 2-3 additional roof vents (available separately) to achieve adequate air circulation across the wider space.
Size and colour options
Available in 8 standard lengths from 12x6ft to 12x20ft. Custom lengths beyond 20ft available on request. Choose mill finish aluminium or any of 11 powder-coated colours including Vine Green, Anthracite Grey, and Jet Black. Colour finishes add £420-680 depending on length but include a 25-year frame warranty against coastal corrosion.

Who should buy the titan 1200?
Professional growers needing commercial capacity with storm-proof construction. Serious collectors maintaining extensive plant collections requiring proper space allocation. Property owners in the most exposed locations (Scottish Highlands above 300m, exposed headlands, offshore islands) where anything smaller won’t survive.

About our elite titan 1200 greenhouses
The Elite Titan 1200 represents the pinnacle of residential wind-resistant greenhouse engineering at 12ft wide. These greenhouses provide 72-240 square feet of growing area, double the capacity of 6ft models and 20% more than 10ft alternatives.
12ft width enables true commercial-style layouts impossible in narrower structures. Position nursery-standard staging (90cm wide) on both sides with a 150cm central aisle for wheelbarrow access. The width accommodates multiple work zones: propagation benches, potting areas, tool storage, and main growing beds, all properly separated.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the 12ft width benefit my growing?
The 12ft 5" width provides double the space of a 6ft model. It allows for four rows of 90cm wide staging on the sides plus a generous central walkway, or even dedicated zones for propagation, growing, and storage in a single structure.
-
Is the Titan 1200 suitable for highland estates?
Yes. It is our top recommendation for highland and coastal properties. The 40% thicker aluminium frame and standard bar-capping mean panels won't blow out, which is the primary cause of greenhouse failure at this scale.
-
What is included as standard?
Every Titan 1200 comes with 4mm toughened safety glass, 1.2m wide lockable double doors, a 10-blade louvre vent, bar-capping, and the integral low-threshold base.
-
How much do Elite Titan 1200 greenhouses cost?
Titan 1200 greenhouses range from £3,647 for the 12x6ft model to £6,395 for the 12x20ft version in mill finish aluminium. Powder-coated colours add £420-680. All prices include free UK mainland delivery, VAT, and toughened safety glass.
-
Can I order a Titan 1200 longer than 20ft?
Yes, we build custom Titan 1200 greenhouses beyond the standard 20ft maximum length. Custom configurations require individual engineering assessment and pricing. Call 0800 098 8877 to discuss your requirements.
-
Can the Titan 1200 withstand extreme weather?
Yes, the Titan 1200 is tested to 90mph sustained winds and 100mph+ gusts. The 56mm Core-Vect framework with full cantilever bracing distributes massive wind loads across the structure. Suitable for the most exposed UK locations.
